There’s no doubt in my mind that Francessa heard that from one of his rag fan producers 5 minutes before he spouted it on the air. They probably thought it would be funny and after all there is no way to catch them in their lie. At this point there is nothing in the hockey world that francessa is gonna know before us. 10 years ago before the media world evolved, maybe, not today. If anything I think talking about it is the worst thing that can happen because if it gains enouggh momentum as a rumor it won’t matter that a raggie francessa lackie started the whole thing when people are shoving mics in JT’s face come june about it. He never said it. Period. If he did we’d know because we have no lives and are obsessed with the boy. LOL.

Thanks for the plug, CB. It’s very much appreciated – I’m sure your web server will thank you whenever you write about the Lighthouse again!

For those of you who can’t comment – let me look into that, and I’ll post something on the blog when I know a solid answer.

Thanks for putting up Nick’s Light House website CB … Nick has done some great research into the LHP and is making sure that others get accurate information. As you know in your business half iced information can be more dangerous than no information.

Whatever money the county or town needs to put into the property, please note this: the only development that is not going to cost them anything — the county in particular — is an empty lot. There is no developer out there who would come in and invest a dime in anything, be it the Lighthouse, McMansions or malls, if there weren’t county investment in sewers, roads, and so on. The only thing that is cost-free for the county is a wrecking ball and a fence around it.

Unless the perception of Charles Wang as a money grubbing land grabber is changed the residents of the Town Of Hempstead will not put any pressure on their elected officials to get this thing done. Articles like Nick’s should wallpaper the town, and continue to be printed in every newspaper from Newsday on down to the smallest community paper. The people of Long Island have been conditioned to look at things like this in the most negatively of lights.

And BTW, don’t put ANY credence in what that pompous windbag Francesa says. His hockey knowledge could fit on the head of a pin. I guarantee he never heard of Tavares until 5 minutes before that interview.

Just one more thing, Mike said to you on the Fan that Tax payer money was going into the Project and you said Yes “very Little” well how much is very little in Dollar terms?

Old Story! The draft did not even happen yet Tavares is never an old story!
I heard the interview on the Fan however 2 things you need to be clearer on.
1)Did you say the islanders might pass on him..
2)You said Tavares never said to you he would not play for the Islander, However did he ever say it to anybody else? Francessa did say he heard it?
Look i am not trying to be a pain in the A** however when the Islanders are buried int the bottom of the NHL this kind of stuff is notan old story and you might just have some new readers here as well.

What is getting to be an Old Story is this LightHouse stuff,when we did not even get close to July’s approval date as of yet.

nice. Then they may only lose 19.8 mill next season. And the games sold out in a matter of minutes. Wish I had a passport.

And if your wondering why The isles chose to play in KC:

Both LA and NYI will be paid around $200,000 to play in the game as well as split the gate receipts.
